I don't like taking pictures in full sun. Today morning we had some thin clouds on the sky so I was making some pictures. Not too many, sorry....

Igor,
I especially like your pond photo 😀 with all the varieties.
And the new Fatsia leaves are so pretty.

Thanks to ALL for seeing and commenting...
Barb, i like my pond too. It's was created in May. There is not too much water - about 300 l only. Two of those plants are Echinodorus major taken from a pond in Texas a few years ago...
Tim, this Fatsia (actually I have two plants planted close to my house foundation. The both passed undamaged through last winter which has been extremely cold. They were protected with plastic covered straw. Plus snow of course. Hope it would be enough for the coming up winter protection.
Bryce, I have a bunch of different grass species, so it was easy to create something like this pond.

That's what I love about our Palms North group.
When you hear on TV about drugs and other contraband/garbage...our group smuggles plants.
Wonderful!!!!!! 😉

Thanks Jim, my palms are doing good except of new leaves damage occurs the fortune. Most likely it is consequences of a cold winter. I took a few shots of my palms growing in the ground.
Wagnerianus does much better. No trace of winter damage

Nice,they all look good.
I had the same kind of damage on a Nainital,Waggie and Fortunei.
I trimmed all my palms again so all those leaves are gone.

Igor, your palms look fabulous considering the horrible winter you had!
Jim, looks good when they outgrow/trim out the leaf damage.

I think they will look fine by closing time and be easier to cover...theoretically 😀
Igor
I wish we could get some rain here but I have to say they have done pretty good
in spite of this...many have already grown what they would in a whole season to this point.
